Less than a month after taking the wraps off the regular CL-Class facelift models, Mercedes-Benz went ahead and revealed the flagship versions of its über luxury coupe, the 2011 CL63 and CL65 AMG models. Both cars will have their world premiere at the Paris Motor Show and arrive in U.S. showrooms in November.

On the outside, there are some subtle styling tweaks on both AMG models such as the redesigned front bumper with LED daytime running lights, the more "V"-shaped grille, a contoured hood, larger headlamps and a reworked rear bumper with newly styled tail pipes. Interior revisions are limited to the new steering wheel, higher-quality trim materials and different color options.

The most important changes, however, are in areas you can't see. Starting with the CL63 AMG, out goes the old naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8 and in comes the smaller, lighter yet more powerful 5.5-liter V8 with twin-turbocharging and direct-injection technology, hooked up to an AMG Speedshift 7-speed automatic.

In standard form, it churns out 536HP at 5,500 rpm and 590 lb-ft of torque from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm propelling the CL63 AMG from zero to 60mph (96km/h) in 4.4 seconds, and on to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250km/h).

Add the optional AMG Performance package, and output climbs to 563HP and 664 lb-ft of torque allowing the coupe to reach the 60mph (96km/h) mark in 4.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph (299km/h).

Mercedes says despite the power and torque increase, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced by around 27 percent and 30 percent respectively over the older naturally aspirated V8.

In addition the new engine, the 2011 CL63 AMG receives three new systems as standard (Direct-Steer, Torque Vectoring Brake and crosswind stabilization) that promise to improve handling and safety.

Meanwhile, the range-topping CL65 AMG continues to use a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. However, AMG engineers have tweaked the V12 unit which now produces an additional 17HP for a total output of 621HP, while torque remains the same at 738 lb-ft. The car is capable of accelerating from 0-60mph (96km/h) in 4.2 seconds continuing to a limited top speed of 186mph (299km/h).

130 mph Mercedes SLS AMG-Inspired Speedboat has everything except Gullwings

U.S. boat builder Cigarette Racing has released some new images and details of its new 46 foot Rider speedboat, inspired by Mercedes-Benz's SLS AMG Gullwing supercar.

Though the SLS influence is debatable, the numbers certainly aren't. Fitted with two 552-cubic inch (that's a little over 9.0-liters) twin-turbo Mercury Racing engines that are good for 1350 hp (1007 kw) each, the Rider has more than five times the power of its road-going inspiration and a top speed of over 130 mph (209 km/h).

It also comes with two-tone silver and white paint, AMG decals and marine-grade upholstery which emulates the Nappa leather available on the road-going SLS AMG. At least the pews are suitably SLS-like. The price has yet to be announced, though it is likely to make the cost of its road-going counterpart look like chump change.

Wimmer RS and Dunlop team up to create a 190-mph Mercedes C63 AMG Racer

Wimmer RS has turned its attention to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG to create the Dunlop Performance show car. The performance is there, so don't worry about the looks for now; this is just a rolling ad. What's under the vinyl and stickers is what Wimmer can do for the C63.

The car's electronically-limited speed has been elevated to 308 km/h (190 mph) thanks to reprogramming the ECU; with the addition of a flurry of intake and exhaust mods, the car puts down 540-horsepower (+53 hp over stock hi-po V8). Torque figures have not been released.

The speedometer hits the 100km/h (62mph) mark after 4.4 seconds (traction control issues, perhaps?) and then the next 100km/h goes by in another 8.2 seconds (0-200km/h or 124mph: 12.6 sec). Keeping the car planted on the ground is a KW3 coilover setup hidden behind 19-inch rims and possibly unmodified brakes (Wimmer didn't mention anything in the press release).

Now, for the real shocker: the 19s are wrapped in...drum roll please...Dunlop Sportmaxx GT tires (sized 235/35-19 in front and 265/35-19 in back).

According to Wimmer, the car seen here took place at the 2010 Tuner's Grand Prix at the Hockenheimring in Germany where it won runner-up. Nifty.
